For shipments to qualify for immediate delivery entries, they must meet specific criteria established by customs regulations. US government shipments and perishables are two categories explicitly recognized for this expedited treatment.

US government shipments often require quick processing to accommodate official duties and time-sensitive operations. As for perishables, these products include items such as food and flowers that need to reach consumers in optimal condition and within a limited time frame. Therefore, these categories are granted immediate delivery entries to facilitate fast clearance and reduce the risk of spoilage.

While commercial electronics, heavy machinery shipments, and all foreign-made products are important categories in international trade, they do not inherently qualify for immediate delivery entries under the same conditions as government shipments and perishables.
